New Image - Ruins of an Old Hut In The Mountains
A new image was added to the Cusco Region gallery - Ruins of an Old Hut In The Mountains.
This image is of an old ruined house in the mountains, probably once used by a sheperd. The cattle nearby suggest this house might still be used.

Posted by Karen Slash, on Home Designs category. November 14th, 2013
Modern house designs are what to look up to if you want to decorate your home in a modern way. This style has been popular for quite a while now. Previously, the traditional design was a favorite choice for many people.
Modern and contemporary are two inseparable words. Though "contemporary" probably is not so familiar to you, it has been around for years. If you explore the history of modern design, you will see several cultures introduced it first. One popular belief is this style came from Old Hollywood.
Modern design is very synonymous with sleek furniture pieces. The use of wood tones is still popular, equipped with metal and other materials. Setting up a living space with this concept is a way to go. There are 3 important points that you should remember if you want to realize this home design concept.
Choose sleek furniture, modern furnishings and simple decor. Looking at these 3 points, you sure can feel some sort of minimalist vibes. Let's start from choosing furniture. Natural materials are still used in the modern home designs. You don't need to throw out your wood furniture because it is still needed.
To highlight this style, choose furniture pieces with sleek designs. There are many options to choose, but try upholstered chairs. These chairs are soft so that your guests will not feel sore while sitting on it. Loveseats can be a second option. These chairs actually serve the same function, but they differ in styles and looks. You can choose a sofa with geo patterns. Put wooden furniture along with metallic bases nearby.
You can also punctuate every room with contemporary furnishings (Read: Enchanting Small Home Designs). Although you can throw some complicated elements to a room, keep them simple and uncluttered. It is an easy way to embody this style. Metal accents have become people's favorite. A little amount of metal in a room will be a focal point and center of attention. Hence, this material is very appropriate as an ornament for your home.
Here are some ideas you can try. Deploy some white prints mixed with black frames. They would look more adorable and coherent with distressed elements, such as wood frames. Brushed nickel can be chosen to give a modern touch and create drama. It is important to connect all parts of a room. For example, the walls should be decorated the same way as the floor.
Whatever artwork, patterns, or accessories that you hang on the walls, they can also be applied to the floor. The use of metallic pieces can be extensive if you like that. Keep in mind that too much metallic accents will make your home look ultra modern. If you love that, then go ahead. Conversely, if you do not particularly like modern elements dominating the interior, add some traditional pieces.
Just for inspiration, you can choose gilded mirrors, chrome furniture, metallic flooring, or others. As for the traditional touch, wood can be a primary choice. Abstract decoration can also be selected to accentuate your home. If you strive to work on this design, then the smallest parts should also be considered. Abstract decoration can evoke a thrilling sensation of the modern style. Here are some ideas, ornate sculptures, wicker chairs, and animal prints.

As each trainee follows an individual plan, in most cases we are able to accept enrollment all year round. Our programme runs over 46 weeks a year with just 6 weeks holidays, see our calendar for more information.
We are partially self-funded but as a social enterprise, we do rely on donations, investors and education fees. We began Steps with a crowd funding campaign and we were overwhelmed with the response and support we have received from the local community. Community is incredibly important to us and an integral component to ensuring success for our students. Without a community approach there will be no employment beyond our coffee shop and our trainees will once again be segregated from society.
We keep our education fees as low as possible to ensure the programme is accessible to as many families as possible. We also offer scholarships to families from disadvantaged backgrounds and work closely with local centres. For more information about scholarships click here.
Our programme is full-time with just 6 weeks holiday per year. From experience, our students benefit from being in education as often as possible, during long breaks we often see regression and less motivation to learn. To see our calendar please click here.
To download an enrolment form for the full-time vocational programme please click here for an interactive form or here for a printable form. Once our team has reviewed the application we will invite you and your family member to come and meet with us to discuss how we can best work together to meet their needs. We cannot guarantee staff will be available for walk-in appointments but feel free to come and see our coffee shop before meeting with us.

Two art books that came out this past month that every artist should have:
James Jean: ProcessRecess and Pulp Hope
Both are beautiful, inspiring crazy books.
It's the third week of BFA already, we're working on a project for Robert Browning's "The Last Duchess" and I'm putting together 5 environment/visual development/story illustrations for next week. Currently it's a mass of reference pictures, rapid sketches and thumbnails (see desktop). I'm studying James Jean's work and learning how to take my raw scratchy pencil drawings into fine, clean-lined illustrations. I'm not sure how to deal with color... I think I'm going to stick with gouache and acrylic for the most part, there's not quite enough time to experiment with Photoshop this week.
Yesterday I went to the premier of Glory Boy Days, the movie I worked on the art department for last winter, and it was an amazing turn-out, everyone who worked on it was there, driving from San Francisco, flying from LA, bringing our family and loved ones, and we all got to wait on the sidewalk outside the theater for three hours because of technical difficulties, and then got to see 10 minutes of the film before the audio went out completely. Still, despite the premiere being a bust, we talked about those 10 minutes for half of dinner afterwards, and it was great to see everyone all together. (optimism,optimism)
Illustrating, illustrating, more on that later.

This course is for painters at any level--even "newbies" who yearn to paint expressively with lots of color and feeling. It is designed to teach you a method so that you can paint your own inspirations not just copy what I am painting. You will learn a "start loose, stay loose" 7 Step Method of Expressive Painting in beautiful color. You will also learn to find inspiration for your paintings, mix brilliant color with no "mud" (unless you want it!), and you can watch me use this method to paint several paintings from start to finish. Through demos, videos, slideshows, handouts and "paint-alongs" I will guide you to create your own unique vision unlike anyone else. This course is designed to "jumpstart" you to painting expressively with your own style.
Annie is a professional painter, teacher and writer in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In her studio on Canyon Road, she paints colorful, expressive floral, still life and landscape paintings. Her work is represented by galleries across the US, shown in juried art shows, collected by art lovers and recently was included in a museum permanent collection. She majored in Art History and Painting and is a Docent at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and a Tour Guide at Ghost Ranch for the Georgia O'Keeffe Landscape Tours. She has taught many painting workshops across the US and Canada as well as at Ghost Ranch and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. She is a Certified Golden Art Educator and the author of two recent books on painting by North Light Books--"Bold Expressive Painting" and "The Joy of Acrylic Painting".
Her workshops are for beginners and experienced painters who want to express themselves in their own unique way. Grounded in the elements and principles of art, Annie teaches an expressive style of painting rather than realism. Through years of experience, she has developed her 7 Step Method of Expressive Painting. She is dedicated to helping artists find personal inspiration to reach their own goals.

1) BUPST expresses that its mission is to provide education and training in order to develop professional translators. BUPST is focused on creating top level professional translators. Professional translators are responsible for translating material of professional quality, which means they require an education that equips them to understand that material. BUPST accepts students aspiring to become translators of this caliber, and provides professional level education and training. BUPST requires applicants to have completed 4 or more years of postsecondary education (university) and to have earned at least a bachelor's degree. This requirement is naturally given the fact the BUPST awards a master's degree in translation to students that successfully complete the MST program.
2) BUPST's MST program is only for English to Japanese and Japanese to English translation. No other languages are offered in this program. It is therefore necessary for students to be fluent in both Japanese and English. Japanese applicants whose native language is Japanese must have undergone 10 years of English language education (in junior high, high school, and college). English native speakers living in English speaking countries must have undergone the equivalent amount of Japanese language education. Applicants whose native language is neither Japanese nor English must have undergone the equivalent amount of education for both Japanese and English languages. It is clear therefore that BUPST requires English and Japanese fluency as a requirement for admission.
3) Since BUPST seeks to develop top level professional translators, BUPST looks for applicants aspiring to make translation a career, and makes this a requirement for admission. The three requirements listed above (possess at least a bachelor's degree, fluency in both Japanese and English, and a aspiration to pursue translation professionally) will be mentioned in more detail later.
4) BUPST's education and training is all conducted online via the Internet. BUPST's translation training is all done using a computer. Students therefore need to be skilled at operating both a computer and the Internet.
5) Currently all BUPST students hold a bachelor's degree, are fluent in both English and Japanese, aspire to become professional translators, and are skilled in using a computer and the Internet.

When prospective students take BUPST's entrance exam, the student's identity is verified by using the photo on the student's admission application. Student identity is verified when both the written and interview portions of the entrance exam are administered. BUPST may also verify student identity by requiring students to submit a driver's license, passport, individual number card, or other government issued photo identification.
After students have enrolled, BUPST has the chance to meet with them on several occasions, including course final exams, graduation project guidance, and other oral exams. Student identity can be verified at these times. Student identity is finally verified when students attend their graduation ceremony.

Students are required to take a final exam after completing all lessons for a course. Students must pass the exam with a satisfactory grade (A or B). Each final exam includes a combination of translation and research problems. Students must fill out an online form requesting to take a final exam (request form requested from and sent to Student Services via email). Typically, the final grade for a course is a combination of a student's coursework and their grade on the final exam. There are courses however where the student's final grade is based solely on the final exam.
A proctor will monitor the entire testing process to verify that a student completes final exams without other assistance.
In order to be accepted for admission to BUPST, applicants must submit a personal resume, copy of government issued photo ID, and undergo an oral test (via Skype).
Upon completion of each course, students are asked to complete a course evaluation on the quality of course content, course instructor, and school administration. BUPST will address issues brought up in course evaluations as necessary.
The following are reasons for dismissal from BUPST:
- Failure to pay tuition for an extended period.
- Failure to earn credits necessary for graduation within four years.
- Conviction of criminal offense, regardless of country.
- Repeated abusive or violent antisocial conduct or language towards persons or groups that may interfere with school administration.
Babel now offers a system for transferring credits which allows students to earn credits based on performance! Through this system, students can earn credit at Babel University Professional School of Translation (BUPST) due to their performance in the past five years in the following three areas.
This system allows students to earn credits at BUSPT based on their translation performance that meets BUPST guidelines. BUPST believes that translation experience, studies, and qualifications are important, and by offering university credit for performance in these areas, students are able to make swift progress in their studies. Credits can be transferred for the following:
- 1) Official qualifications for translation
- 2) Translation learning experiences
- 3) Translation job experiences
This credit transfer system comes at a time when ISO 17100 (new international standard for translation services) is set to be released. This credit transfer system is designed in order to provide clearer eligibility requirement guidelines (Master's degree in translation) for translators. This system is also beneficial for educational institutions, translation accreditation institutions, and for translation companies who employ experienced translators.
BUPST's credit transfer system is as follows:
1) Accreditation criteria for official qualifications for translation
Qualifications related to translation obtained within the past five years fulfill requirements for proof of translation learning. The following credits will be acknowledged.
Exams offered in Japan
- Students who pass the Japan Translation Association's (JTA) Official Professional Translation Qualification exams (conducted by JTA/ passing grade in four subjects) receive eight BUPST credits. Students that pass in each of the four subjects will receive two BUPST credits per subject.
- Students who pass the JTA Official Project Manager Exam will receive two BUPST credits.
- Students who score as level two or above on either the JTA Official Publication Translation Proficiency Exam or Business Translation Accreditation Exam will receive two credits BUPST per test.
- Students who score as level two or above on the JTA Translation Exam will receive two BUPST credits.
- Students who score as level two or above on the Intellectual Property Translation Exam will receive two BUPST credits.
Exams offered overseas
Students that have been accredited by the following overseas translation and professional organizations will receive BUPST credits.
- * ATA (U.S): Two credits
- * ProZ (U.S.)Certified PRO: Two credits
- * CTTIC (Canada): Two credits
- * Level four or higher on NAATI (Australia): Two credits
- * ITI (England): Two credits
- * CAP (conducted by IAAP, and is an International administrative professional certification): Four credits
2) Criteria for accreditation based on translation learning experiences
Students who have earned credits at a translation learning institution other than BUPST within the past five years can transfer those credits according to BUPST's criteria for credit conversion standards. Those credits that are considered to be equivalent to BUPST's subject learning requirements only will be accepted.
3) Criteria for accreditation based on translation job experiences
Students who submit a record of time spent employed as a translator (translation content, quantity, and hours) will be evaluated according to BUPST's translation performance conversion standards and may be eligible for BUPST credit.
Conversion standards are as follows:
Students who have worked 1600 in translation (200 days in a year/ 8 hours of work per day) will receive four credits.
BUPST will award up to 18 credits for translation performance apart from BUPST.
The following are upper limits for each area of accreditation:
1) Official qualifications for translation: up to 9 credits
2) Translation learning experiences: up to 9 credits
3) Translation job experiences: up to 9 credits
$400 will be exempted from tuition per accredited credit transferred. Upper limits for transferring credits are listed above.
** BUPST scholarship students are not eligible for transferring credits. Credits only will be recognized. Tuition exemptions will only be calculated when first enrolling in BUPST.
- 1) Accreditation of acquired certifications (receiving BUPST credits for certification acquired via a related translation institution): Submit certification title, content, date earned, and copy of certificate before taking entrance exam.
- 2) Accreditation based on learning performance (receiving BUPST credits for proof of translation studies): Submit school name, course title, course syllabus, and copy of certificate of course completion before taking entrance exam.
- 3) Accreditation based on translation performance (receiving credits for translation employment): Submit name of translation company, employment period, area of translation, volume of work, and proof of employment from nearest translation employer.
Further details will be provided in Online Briefing Session on how to transfer credits.

I played here on 25 August 2011 with Graeme, an old friend of mine at the Glen GC. We were on our way to play at Beith GC and we stopped off here to play the 9 hole parkland course attached to the impressive Mearns Castle Golf Academy, to the South West of Glasgow. I've come across some pretty unremarkable driving ranges and practice facilities in my own travels around Scotland, but this is definitely one of the very best I've seen, with coaching led by some former European Tour professionals who have also become leading coaches in their own right. Throw in a children's nursery (a great idea!) and an excellent 2542 yard Par 33 parkland course and this centre really stands above the rest. We'd expected that on a midweek morning the place would be pretty quiet. Not so, but thanks to the very welcoming and helpful staff there, we squeezed onto the course (and I really liked the odd name for the local business that sponsors the Ist hole!)
The scorecard even had a helpful map of the course, but did we study it in advance? Did we know there was a stream across the fairway at the 1st, ready to drown anything overhit from the tee? Of course not, as that would have been good course mangement. Instead, we footered our way around, wary of the hills we'd be facing later in the day at Beith. Indeed, I was still tired after so many successive days of golfing and caddying etc. and by the time I'd negotiated the modest hill on the 2nd Hole here, I was reminded I'd forgotten to bring my lighter golf bag and leave half of my clubs in the car! I'd taken a double bogey at the 1st, so a par at the 2nd, a largely uphill 495 yard Par 5, and the Stroke Index 1 hole, was pretty satisfying. However, another double bogey at this, the 394 yard 3rd Hole, was disappointing.
We both liked the 4 Par 3's here, ranging from 141 to 191 yards, with the uphill 8th, at 191 yards, being a really good test. I'd gone round in 40, net 35, (so 2 over the course par) with a disappointing 17 putts. We both really liked the facilities at Mearns Castle Golf Academy and envied those who had it on their doorstep.

Revisiting My Brother's Speech in Support of the ACA
I am heartbroken to have to revisit the time in my life before the ACA. I thought this was behind me. I thought a lot of things that are being challenged lately. I think it's time to dust off this old blog and get posting about all the many things that need to be talked about.
I'll start this off by revisiting a fantastic speech my brother gave in support of the ACA when it was in it's infancy. Now that this lifesaving legislation is under threat, it's more important than ever to share my family's story. Read this and know that there are millions of others in a similar situation. Please, support the ACA and stand up against those who would have it dismantled.
The following is copied from a previous post. Original Post Here
|Dan and I Hiking the Alps in 2005
Today, I feel like the luckiest sister in the world. As I sat in class, squirming in anticipation from a text from my brother, he was giving a speech to Congressman Waxman, and many other important people. The speech was about how the Affordable Care Act has benefited our family in life-changing ways. Finally, a text from him, "Wonderful," in response to my, "how did it go?" A few minutes later I got to read his speech for myself and the idea that I had a truly extraordinary sibling was confirmed.
Here is his speech...
"When I was 16 I watched my 19-year-old sister, Emily, have a stroke right in front of me. This was only the second of three she eventually survived. In a matter of seconds I watched as a genetic condition manifested bringing her from the competitive soccer player I knew to someone barely able to get out of bed. Over the next five years I watched as my family too changed from a comfortable middle class family to one solely focused on the health of my sister.
My father continued to work as an engineer and my mother still worked at her physical therapy clinic so we could pay the bills, but all our free time went into figuring out what was happening to Emily. At the time she started getting sick the healthcare system, a system that was in place just a few years ago, seemed to be working against us.
As that first year pounded ahead in a constant rush of hospitals, doctors, and false hopes she started to rapidly approach the age limit at which my parents health insurance would kick her off. Eventually Emily had to withdraw as an honors student from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the hopes that becoming a full time patient may help us find a cure before she was deemed unfit for insurance.
Another year passed and she made great progress, we confirmed a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, but still I saw as her enthusiasm for life started to waver. This diagnosis would mean she would need to frequent hospitals the rest of her life to receive IVs. As it stood she could not do anything physically demanding, she could not get a job, and she needed constant medical attention. Even if she went back to college, received a degree, and got a job, no one would insure her. She could never receive the healthcare she needed to live a real life.
This was the state of the healthcare system before the Affordable Care Act. This was how patients, with undeserved conditions, were treated. My sister is an economic pitfall because she is sick with no known cure. She does not make economic sense to treat. Before the Affordable Care Act this would be the end of the story for my family. Too bad. Better luck next time. Some lose, some win. These were the only words of comfort we ever received.
And then a bold congress, pushed forward by some great women and men, decided that we were better than this as a country. My family sat glued to the TV as we watched the role call vote for the greatest piece of social legislation since the Great Society. And together we watch as it passed. And in that moment it passed I saw my sister receive her life back. With the passage of that bill, we witnessed healthcare becoming about health again.
From now on my sister could not be denied coverage just because she needed help. This meant for the rest of her life there was a path in front of her and a government beside her to help her walk it. She went back to college, graduating with a degree in kinesiology and with honors to boot.
I called her two days ago to wish her a happy 24th birthday, something that would have been tragic a few short years ago. We couldn't talk long because she was rushing to her grad class at Tufts University in Boston. She is now going for an advanced degree in Occupational Therapy with strong hopes of finding both a job and insurance. Insurance she thought she never could get. And insurance that will allow her an IV once a week that can keep her standing upright and working.
When I told her I was speaking about the Affordable Care Act she had one request for me. She wanted me to thank everyone who made the legislation possible, not because it helped insure her, but because it let her be a part of the country she lived in. It let her get a degree, and eventually get a job, pay taxes…and even volunteer. More than anything the Affordable Care Act let her be a citizen and contribute to the land that stepped up and took care of their own. Thank you Congressman for all you have done for my family. Thank you for giving my best friend, my sister, the most caring, and ambitious person I know, her life back and, as she said it, her citizenship back. The American Dream is attainable for millions more like my sister because of the work you did to pass this bill. Thank you. Thank You.Thank You."

Wedding cake trend: sequins
wedding cakes cincinnati - celebration cakes cincinnati sequins
Cake trend alert: Sequins!
I have to confess that when it comes to sequins, I can be a bit intimidated. The reason is that I think that anything embellished by sequins falls in one of two categories: 1. Glorious or 2. Tacky....there is no middle ground!
Sequin adorned cakes have been in my mind for a while...I have researched and tried different techniques, and hadn't found a method with which I felt comfortable....until now!
As you may now by now, I am a big fan of rolled chocolate, not fondant. The first reason is taste...I make cakes, delicious cakes!. The second is workability!
So when I decided to jump in the "sequin's wagon", I thought about my trustworthy chocolate, and tested making my own chocolate sequins!
I will be posting a full image tutorial on Friday, come back and check it out...and jump in this Sequin's wagon with me!
Our Craftsy class " Make-ahead techniques for stunning cakes" is LIVE!
Hello, My name is Ileana Saldivia. Venezuelan born and adopted daughter of Cincinnati, OH, where I reside with my husband and kids. I'm an Architect by trade and a professional baker. I created this Sugar Realm all for myself, and now, I share it with you! It's like my third child, and it makes me IMMENSELY happy. Thank you for being part of my sugar kingdom.

Despite significant progress in the development of treatments for people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), there are few treatment options for people with progressive forms of MS. The newly formed International Collaborative on Progressive MS has published an opinion paper outlining challenges in developing therapies for progressive MS and identifying key research priorities to propel efforts to stop MS progression.
The Collaborative is the greatest effort to date aiming at speeding research on progressive MS, and is formed of the MS Societies of Canada, Italy, Netherlands, the UK and the US, and the MS International Federation. The paper, by lead author Robert J. Fox, MD (Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis, Neurological Institute, and Lerner College of Medicine, Cleveland Clinic) and colleagues, identifies five key priority areas for research, and was published in the Multiple Sclerosis Journal (Online First, August 23, 2012).
"Overcoming the challenges of progressive MS is a key objective of the Society's Strategic Response to MS," says Timothy Coetzee, PhD, Chief Research Officer of the National MS Society and member of the Collaborative. "This is just one of the ways we're collaborating worldwide to speed clinical trials in progressive MS."
The hopes of most people who have MS today rest on finding a way to stop disease worsening and reverse the damage to restore lost functions. MS progression can be slow or it can be fast, but most agree that it occurs in the majority of those who have the disease, even those successfully treated for relapses.
There's been a great deal of progress in treating relapsing forms of MS, with many FDA-approved therapies. But for every new therapy approved for relapsing forms of MS, people with progressive MS, for whom there are few significant treatment options, feel left behind. Virtually every therapy approved for relapsing MS has been tested, or is now in testing, in people with progressive forms of the disease. Up to now, clinical trials involving people with relapsing MS often rely on counting relapses or doing MRI scans to detect immune activity. The fact that there is no easy way to detect progression quickly is one reason why drug development for progressive MS is behind.
The mission of the International Collaborative on Progressive MS is to expedite the development of effective disease modifying and symptom management therapies for progressive forms of MS. To do so, research efforts are needed on several fronts to lay the groundwork needed to identify possible therapeutic targets and conduct clinical trials aimed at stopping progression of the disease.
For Utahns with MS looking for help, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Utah-Southern Idaho Chapter has a new local representative, Chelsey Banks. Contact her at 801-424-0113 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Learn more about the organization at www.cureMSutah.org and www.cureMSidaho.org.

Should you trim them, nevertheless, you'll have to await them to drop out and return To see them back to the original state. It appears to be a fantasy that trimming lashes encourage them to grow more. But, there are a few natural topical software that appear to encourage more, thicker eyelashes. It ought to be noted that for most the individuals who've tried something and say it works, there is someone else that debunks it.
That being said, many women report that Vaseline will give you more lashes. A light coat, applied nightly, might eventually lead to noticeable eyelash development. Vaseline is also an option to clear mascara, including shine and definition to your own lashes. Pure olive oil is also said to promote more, thicker lashes. A lot of women see that following a month or 2 of nightly use, there's improvement. If absolutely nothing else, the oil acts as a conditioner, enhancing the overall health and appearance of your own lashes.

BIM-based collaborative design and socio-technical analytics of green buildings
TijdschriftartikelEl-Diraby, T., Krijnen, T. & Papagelis, M. (2017). BIM-based collaborative design and socio-technical analytics of green buildings. Automation in Construction, 82, 59-74. In Scopus Cited 6 times.

As Building Information Modeling evolves into becoming the central mean for coordinating project design and planning activities, we notice a few limitations/opportunities in the way current BIM tools address the needs for integrated design, collaboration and analysis (the initial objective of BIM). First, substantial communications and interactions about the design exist outside the BIM environment - typically in e-mail formats. This may cause distractions, delays to the project, and could waste valuable knowledge (contained in these interactions). Second, the need of engaging end-users and their keen interest in selecting "green" features. Professionals can develop different designs that achieve varying levels of energy conservation, but these will always require changes based on usage patterns. So, it is important that end-users are involved in the design process early on to make sure that they receive adequate information/ education before they make decisions. This is the nature of limitations that we try to address in this research. This paper builds around the design and development of an online system, named Green2.0 that tries to leverage advancements in Building Information Models (BIM), energy-efficiency simulation tools, and online social network analysis methods to enable a data-driven approach to building planning, construction and maintenance. Fundamentally, it allows participants (end-users or professionals) to comment and share views about building designs. Social network analysis and semantic modeling tools are then used to extract information from these interactions. At the same time, it connects BIM to energy analysis software to allow users to select different products from a catalog and assess the impact of each on energy consumption. The platform aims to advance the current state of the art by bringing about a fundamental shift in the way that AEC professionals, end-users and public policy makers work together throughout a building's lifecycle. Designed as an open platform, it provides access to information that enables researchers and practitioners to build new, more efficient theories and methods of building design. The premise of our work is that by providing new insights into the building design process it is likely to have a profound beneficial effect for both AEC professionals and the society at large.

News Launch Tame Rattlers for First of the Season
April 30, 2017 - Major League Lacrosse (MLL) - Florida Launch News Release
DELAND, Fla.-After fighting through four periods of back-and-forth action, the Florida Launch took down the Rochester Rattlers 12-10 in their first victory of the season.
After edging out the Rattlers in the first quarter by a single goal, the Launch began what would be a continuous battle for dominance moving into the second quarter. Two goals from Rochester put the visitors ahead of the Launch by one, Steve Pontrello and Chazz Woodson responded with back-to-back goals that reset the single goal lead. Rochester responded with two unanswered goals that left them with the lead moving into half time.
Though the Launch and the Rattlers entered the third with an even score, Rochester took a two-point lead with goals from Kyle Denhoff and Jordan Wolf. With six minutes left in the game and a two goal deficit on the board, the Launch responded with four unanswered goals late in the quarter-scored by Pontrello, Martin Bowes, Greg Melaugh, and Mike Unterstein-that ultimately lead the Launch to victory. Goalie Austin Kaut came up big for the Launch to seal the victory. Kaut's performance earned him Coca-Cola Player of the Game honors.
With this victory under their belt, the Launch return home to FAU Stadium on May 13 to face the defending league champions, the Denver Outlaws.
"I thought offensively, we had better boys. Last week, it was a little bit erratic sometimes. But offensively, we had good boys. We found open men. And, defensively, we were quick to slide and got out in the clear well today." - Steve Pontrello
"I think honestly we had a game under our belt, we went through a one goal game, and I think we learned something about ourselves. We got some experience, and I really think that paid off in the second half." - Coach Mariano
"We're going to be talking throughout the two weeks off here, conversing, going over game plan, and really going over the film. We still have a lot to work on and a lot to get better at. We're not even close to being there yet, but it's good to come out with a win today." - Austin Kaut
Chazz Woodson tallied 5 points (2 G, 3 A)
Greg Melaugh scored a hat trick.
Steve Pontrello scored a hat trick (his second of the season).
Austin Kaut had 17 saves on 27 SOGs. Kaut was named Coca-Cola Player of the Game.
Attendance for tonight's game at Spec Martin Stadium was 1,764.

G'day Folks,
Haven't done a report yet, but here's a video from our camping trip down the Glenelg River. We were a bit restricted on available time, and the weather became pretty ordinary and rained for 24 hours straight. The video is a bit long, but wanted to give enough time to the River and the National Park, also the reason there is no music to drown out the birds, paddle, etc.
Anyway, if you care to take the time to watch, I hope you enjoy and it inspires someone to venture to this area. It's a beautiful place and I would happily spend a week or more travelling down the river.

President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte announced Thursday that he will not appoint an ambassador to the United States because "I don't feel like sending one."
Duterte made the remark during a speech to the Philippine Association of Water Districts, noting that Manila does not currently have representation in Washington and he does not believe this will change for some time.
"In the US, we have no ambassador. No ambassador will go there," Duterte told the audience. " Until now, we do not have an ambassador in the United States. I don't feel like sending one."
Duterte did not elaborate on why he did not "feel like" appointing an ambassador to represent Filipinos in the United States.
The Philippine website Rappler notes that the Philippine embassy in the United States is still running despite not having an ambassador, under the leadership of Chargé d'Affaires Patrick Chuasoto. The website adds that Duterte's desire not to have an ambassador in that post appears to be a new development as he had already attempted to appoint one late last year. Duterte nominated palace protocols head Marciano Paynor to the post, who is now working on diplomacy with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Duterte later nominated Jose Manuel "Babe" Romualdez, a columnist, to the post, but he "declined due to health reasons," according to the Philippine Star.
Duterte's cavalier dismissal of appointing someone to the post has incensed at least one experienced Filipino diplomat: former ambassador to the United Nations Lauro Baja. "A regular accredited ambassador can open doors much more evenly and much more reliably than not having one," he told journalists Friday. "If we don't have a regular representative there in Washington, that means our representation there will be on a second-tier level because a chargé d'affaires can only have lower access to the echelon of government and lower level of contact with interest groups there."
Baja protested that the move was unprecedented: "There simply is no policy for us not sending immediately an ambassador there, not unless the President wants to send another message to the United States."
Duterte has sent many messages to the United States during his term already, which began in June 2016. Towards the end of that year, Duterte repeatedly asserted in public that he was looking to limit ties to America and expand them with China and Russia."I announce my separation from the United States both in the military… not social, but economics also. America has lost," Duterte said in October, a statement that "baffled" U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby.
Before that statement, Duterte had made much more insulting comments towards America's ambassador in his country, Philip Goldberg. "I had an argument with their ambassador, that bakla [homosexual]. Son of a bitch, he really annoys me," Duterte said of Goldberg in August. The Obama administration ultimately relieved Goldberg of his duties in Manila, replacing him with Ambassador Sung Kim. This did not stop Duterte from insulting Goldberg, accusing him of being a CIA spy in December.
While Duterte struggled to maintain a civil relationship with President Barack Obama, whom he twice called a "son of a whore" in public, he appears to be working towards a friendlier relationship with his successor, Donald Trump. Duterte has vocally supported President Trump's executive order limiting refugee flows from terror-prone countries and warned Filipinos illegally present in the United States that Manila would not help them out of legal trouble if they were caught. "If you are caught and deported, I will not lift a finger. You know that it is a violation of the law," Duterte warned his citizens earlier this week.
A poll published on Friday by the firm Social Weather Systems (SWS) found that 86 percent of respondents in the Philippines are "very satisfied" with Duterte's performance as head of state.

A Necklace Luna Wore
Congratulations to f(x) on their win of MBC Music Star Award at the Melon Music Awards 2013. Luna was there as a representative of f(x) and accepted the award. Her necklace was perfect for the occasion.
At first I thought the necklace was by Forever 21 or Topshop. That was wrong.
This was from the Korean brand Monday Edition. Named the M.E "me" bold chain necklace (X).
On Luna, the bigger chain's was reversed with the clip in front; that created a V-shape opposed to the usual oval shape.
Get it? "me" = M.E = Monday Edition.

The first few months of med school was a big change for me, especially because I had been out of college for four years. Keeping up with ever changing schedules, meeting, quizzes, handouts and homework was something to get used to after having 9-5 routine job in the lab in graduate school. I have tried a few different methods including an electronic calendar and eventually stuck with a daily/monthly academic calendar from Day Design for Target.
First of all, electronic calendars never presented things in a way I wanted to. I am a very visual person when it comes to organization. IF things does not look right to me, my brain refuses to processes it. So I needed both daily and monthly calendar with daily To-Do-List. The monthly calendar keeps me organized in a big picture, while the daily calendar keeps me organized on daily bases with my changing schedules in med school.
The To-Do-List is for keeping tracking of my study plan. Med school in the first two years consists heavily of independent studies, incorporating multiple sources on multiple subjects in a very short amount of time. So it is super important to have a schedule that fits everything you need to study. Checking off completed tasks and being aware of things that still need to be done is going to help a lot.
I still use an electronic calendar that is synced on my laptop, phone and ipad. I sync my electronic devices with my lecture schedules along with appointments and other commitments, so I always have important dates and schedules accessible anytime. For next year, I probably wont need a daily calendar, but a weekly calendar with To-Do-List will do the job. I will let you know if I do anything differently.

Roasted Spiced-Pork Tenderloin with Beet, Apple, and Caraway Salsa
Combining Thai and northern European flavors may seem odd, but the sweet beet, apple, and caraway work remarkably well with the salty hotness of Thai spicing.
How to Make It
To prepare pork, combine first 11 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours, turning bag occasionally.
Preheat oven to 450°.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade. Pat pork dry with paper towels. Add pork to pan; cook 6 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove pork from pan; place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Bake pork at 450° for 25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° (slightly pink), basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let stand 5 minutes; thinly slice.
To prepare salsa, combine apple and remaining ingredients. Serve with pork.
